Check out my wedding camera setup

[Figment]

check out my uber camera setup for wedding photography.

Canon 350d
Vertical Grip
Canon 24-70 2.8 L
Custom Bracket QRS-35-H
Canon 580EX speedlite
lumiquest 5x7 softbox
bogen 3021bn tripod
bogen 3030 pan/tilt head

i'm thinking of wrapping the grip on the bracket with tennis raquet grip tape, its kinda rough how it is.. but this is like the most uber setup ever

note: EVERY picture i took was WITH FLASH. just so you know.

image taken with crappy a75 (point and shoot cameras are so worthless compared to DSLR)

Nice set up. Great lens for that kind of work from what I have read. Good luck with the gig.

The pictures look really nice!
because of my work, I see a lot of wedding pictures every week, and these are way better than what "normal" people do with their crappy APS/35mm film point-and-shoot cameras..

how much does that softbox cost?

fantastic job on the photos. Really impressed with your shots.

Told you a diffuser would help And for the back shot you definitely need a wider crop.

Wider FOV is what I mean. Like maybe from the top of her butt to the top of her shoulders to show the form. With this crop there isn't really an interesting focal point.

So you have to carry that tripod around when you're shooting?

I wish I could get that softbox here in Brazil.. hmm.. I'll take a look around.

It's made by Lumiquest. Make sure you get the right one for your flash. Looks like Figment got the wrong one (seems like it's blocking the AF assist)

nice pics dude....but where's the back up camera?

[SebG]

Whats the total?

How much was the lens and the speedlite?
